ultimate vest for travel and trekking

i took a chance on the vest. already have a quality jacket, but sometimes a jacket is too bulky or too hot for me. after looking for reviews regarding the vest, i didn't see much on-line. however, i did see a few reviews regarding the jacket.

to me vest is pretty much what i wanted. light weight, compressible, form fitting, great warmth. i am 5ft 11in and 200# athletic built, and sleeve holes were perfect for me. i do not think that the holes were too big. has been the perfect vest for temperatures from 65f - 35f (live in atlanta and temperatures don't drop pass 30f). and great as an under garment for layering. i plan to take this vest on travels (airports and airplanes can get cold). as for the product, i highly recommend it. top shelf quality as is their customer service.

the one con is the production time. it really takes as long as they say it does 5-7 weeks, so plan your purchase accordingly.

Super light core warmer

I love the light as air feel of the vest, and it keeps me warm as toast. It stuffs into the smallest nook or cranny in my pack, and when used under my light jacket, it gives me the warmth I need without overheating. Perfect for my needs.

I did not notice anything bad about the arm holes, but then I sport a more portly build than most backpackers.

Perfect for my needs

So I’m not really a vest person, but got this as a layering piece to extend the range of a light down jacket, and to supplement a light fleece pullover on trips where a jacket isn’t quite needed. Went with the hood for sleeping under a quilt.

The good:
Best designed hood / closure I have seen.
Handwarmer pockets work well
Weight is true to spec

The bad:
Nothing for my use. I understand the large arm hole complaint, but for use under a shell, under a coat, or over fleece, I don’t see it being an issue for my anticipated use.

Arm holes too big

I already have a couple of quilts from EE and a Torrid long sleeve jacket. I absolutely love the design and craftsmanship of all of those products. But not that one. The arm holes are way too big for me and the vest can't keep its warmth. I'm 188cm/95kg and the Torrid long sleeves L fits perfectly. I was expecting the same fit here. Disappointed I must say. I'll try to find a way to put some elastics here. Otherwise superb cratfmanship.
